Detailed guide
Karting 2000 Manchester is permanently closed
Karting 2000 was an independent indoor circuit at 27 Froxmer Street in Gorton. It served East Manchester for more than a decade, but ceased trading around 2016 and the former venue is no longer a kart track.
The former Froxmer circuit
- Indoor tarmac: the circuit was promoted as an all-weather racing venue.
- Approximate length: surviving promotions described the layout as roughly 300 metres, with some offers quoting 340 metres.
- Corner sequence: five hairpins were linked by two straights, two open curves and a chicane.
- Driver entry: historical event material advertised karting from around nine years old.
How the venue was used
- Public racing: customers bought timed or lap-based sessions on the indoor layout.
- Group visits: birthdays, youth groups and stag events were part of the former business.
- Independent operator: this was not the same venue as Manchester’s current TeamSport branches.
- Historical pricing: old discount vouchers and race packages are expired and have no current value.
Closed-venue guidance
- Do not travel: the Froxmer Street unit has returned to general commercial use.
- No booking: Kart Directory shows no booking route for the closed venue.
- Use live alternatives: nearby cards are limited to active circuits with their own current profiles.
- Verify names: choose a current Manchester venue rather than assuming an old Karting 2000 result is still operating.
